Adapt.

Pivotal Shift LLC helps people navigate the moments that divide life into before and after.
Through grief education, personal development, supportive resources, books, workshops, groups, and organizational programs, Pivotal Shift helps individuals understand what changed, process what hurts, discover what remains, and intentionally build what comes next.
Because healing isn’t about returning to who you were.
It’s about discovering who you can become.
I am Suzanne Testerman - an author, Certified Grief Specialist, Certified Grief Educator, and above all, a fellow griever.
My life has been marked by many seasons of grief and loss.
I have endured the deaths of my entire core family - my parents, my two brothers, my niece, and my two nephews.
I have survived kidney cancer.
I have grieved many beloved pets.
The death that brought me to my knees and into grief work was the tragic death of my partner. His death changed me forever and drives my passion to help others.
I have survived a heartbreaking tapestry of love and loss.
I don’t just study grief; I walk it.
I would be honored to walk alongside you as you find your way through.
